Trade Brisk In All Departments, and in the
Main Prices Firm.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. O..
September comes in under favorable condi-
tions for trade, and the volume Of business thus
far indicates that the merchants are taking adj
vantage of the favorable conditions. Dry goods
men report their trade boomipg-never better
in early September. They have large stock for
the retail merchants to select from, and in
prices are able to successfully compete with any
houses of the Western commercial centers, and
the rates that the roads are giving is proving
quite card for our merchants generally. The
wool 10 arket is still sluggish. The Boston Com
mercial Bulletin says: 1.-THE market is much
lower than buyers anticipated at the time wool
was clipped and good deal of the wool is prac-
'ically out Of the market, as holders
cannot afford to sell at present figures.
The dull state of the goods market has
without doubt had a great deal to do with the
present poor condition of the wool business.
usual in the market this week, and where sales
have been made they have in most cases been of
small amounts. The buyers this year are adopt
ing different plan. for where they formerly
bought two or three hundred thousand pounds
at once and stayed out of the market for
while the plan they have followed this season is
to buy a little each week in the hope that prices
will drop still lower" The -four market shows
more activity, but prices do not improve. Dur
ing the past two months we have the remarka-
BILE spectacle of a market falling off in the mar
keting of wheat and considerable increase in
the foreign output. both as compared with
the corresponding time last year, and
yet prices remain on very low
level and fully cents below
the current prices of last year at this time.
What should be another element of strength is
the slight disturbance which was caused by the
collapse of the San Francisco and Liverpool
markets. The Chicago market hardly showed
any change for the worse under this influence,
and now that liquidation is going and farmers
mere are holding on to their wheat quite gener-
ally, the chances for q su bstantial Improvement
are quite promising The produce market is
active. There is n scarcity of all kinds of veg
etables and they are selling at unusually high
figures for this season of the year. Apples grow
more abundant and prices are weakening Poul-
try and eggs firm at quotations. Butter is in
good supply and weak at the revised quotations.

They Always Did il in That Way

Charley IIaskins, of Milwaukee. an old
telegraph man, was iii Europe recently and
he tells some funny stories about the way
the telegraph business is managed over
there For instance, he filed Il message
in an Office in London, and, out of curios-
itv, waited to see what became Of it. The
receiving clerk did not put it in little
leather cup and shoot it up the pneumatic
tuhe 20 the operating room, as the Ameri-
can receiving clerk does. Instead, he
hung il on file hook with q number Of
other messages and went on taking in
more messages, placiag them on the same
hook. In about half an hour the hook
was full, when the clerk called out to a
boy. In five minutes the boy was On his
way up the stairs 10 the operating room
with that bundle of messages. and he
wasn't in very much Of a hurry, either.
No wonder Mr.. Haskins says the AmeTi-
can tclegrapher couldn't stand it TO live
in that country.
They are slow over in England, but very
careful For instance, when they erect a
telegraph pole in the street OF town Or
city they plant it as carefully as if they
were laying the foundation Of 81 COO,
000 building. With The pole once up they
are not satisfied to brace it with the ser
vice wires, but to attach to it and
extend out and fasten in every direction
heavy guy wires, as clumsy as they are
unnecessary. There is no use trying to
tell the Englishman anything, either, or
to suggest any better methods. His in
variable reply, III a tone which seems to
leave no room for further argument, is:
''Well, we have always done it that
way Chicago Herald.

Scene in q London Court.

a most amusing scene to philosophic
spirits recently occurred at a London court
in litigation concerning the ownership
of donkey. The presiding judge, Dor
rowing q hint from Solomon and the
caliphs of Bagdad, had the animal brought
into court to test the allegation Of the de
PENDANT that it would eat bread or Vegeta-
bles offered it with Lord Salisbury COM
plimcnts," but would reject the same
with symptoms of lOathing and contempt
when Mr.. Gladstone was named as the
donor. As it happened, the willy quad
ruped when challenged by the claimant
not only dev0ured Unfortunately the
Tory and Liberal carrots, showing no
partisan spirit whatever, but, when the
experiment was acknowledged failure.
set up such mixed notes of eXultation and
protest that the magistrate, deafened by
the outrageous bray, summarjly dismissed
the claim.-Chicago Herald.

Col. Stephen 4. Walker IS now United

blue q private soldier walked in, ana con-

surprise whom the following conundrum
was pat to Kim by tie soldier:
"oay, when do you expect 10 Pay Us

now in three months.
The assistant paymaster glared at his
visitor, and told him neither politely nor
religiously that it was none Of his -- bust
ness. This was far from satisfactory, and
the soldier proceeded:
But it is my business, and that IS Why |
am here. The men are not treated with
the slightest justice, and if the United States
amt able to pay them, why You can have
a draft on a New York bank for the amount
due my regiment"
OF course there was no alternative left
to Col. Walker but to regard the Connccti-
cut private IS crank Il remained only
to be sure just how dangerous crank he
was.
